He was a director of the Stockton and Darlington Railway[1] and was responsible for the foundation of the seaside resort of Saltburn-by-the-Sea. He was for a time President of the Peace Society, and in 1854 he visited the Tsar of Russia in an attempt to talk him out of the Crimean War.[2] He was resident at Pierremont, Darlington, and Stanhope Castle, Durham.[3]

Pease was elected MP for Durham South in 1857 and held the seat until 1865.

Pease married Anna Fell and they had one son Henry Fell Pease.[3] He married a second time to Mary Lloyd and they had three sons and two daughters.
